Next stage in #DeFiKernel evolution: the amazing premise that loans under high-volatility conditions we all share in the crypto world can be the *solution* to that volatility ⭐ since this tech allows loans to be extended without margin 🤠 @__fallen_icarus https://t.co/MNw86MsFXe

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

Only rarely can we see the next stage of the future when it's mostly unknown but practically proven. 🚀 No developer hurdle or organisational prejudice is too great to make the #DeFiKernel a reality; thanks again to @__fallen_icarus for never giving up 🏆 https://t.co/nOBn1ZaOav

@henhen789 @tsnnst @StakeWithPride @hix_coffeepool @IdealStake @TosiDrop I think a *true* AI would rather pay 10 cents on #Cardano for a single computation-heavy data-rich transaction — with 💯 assurance it will go through — than to submit thousands of transactions on #Solana, each at negligible cost, without any assurance that any of it went through.

Cardano has a lot of visible work: launches, announcements, debates, big ideas. But a healthy ecosystem also depends on the unglamorous work that almost nobody sees, the editing, review cycles, cleanup, coordination, and relentless attention to detail that turns rough drafts into something the community can actually build on.

This year, a huge amount of that load has been carried by Robert Phair (@rphair). He’s spent countless hours moving the CIP process forward: editing, reviewing, nudging, fixing typos, making commits, and doing whatever was needed to keep proposals progressing. It’s thankless work, and most people won’t even know his name; yet it is the foundation of the entire ecosystem.

If you care about Cardano maturing, you should care about the people doing this kind of stewardship. Robert is one of those rare contributors who shows up consistently, does the hard parts, and rarely asks for anything. He deserves real recognition for the impact he’s had.

@phil_uplc 😊 and thank *you* Phil for being one of the key developers who's taken the time to support the CIP process. 🙏 5½ years ago it seemed like a good idea to separate my personal (@rxphair) and #cardano (@COSDpool) identities... and it may seem sensible again someday, but not now 😅

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

Thanks @__fallen_icarus to your trust and cooperation I've known long in advance that this would happen someday 😇 ... but still the confirmation is exhilarating & empowering: a long awaited market that can't really be duplicated outside #cardano 😍

[fallen-icarus @__fallen_icarus]

The @IOGroup BitcoinDeFi project will be utilizing the DeFi Kernel's credit market! 🎉🎉

$BTC and $ADA HODLers maintain full self-custody while assets are locked as collateral—with zero margin call risk.

Hopefully, this is the start of a new era for #Cardano's #DeFi🤞

@DenicioBernier @MadOrkestra @InputEndorsers @YoroiWallet @vesprwallet @BeginWallet @lace_io @Cardano_CF @IOHK_Charles Just finding this: was sick Xmas to New Year's 🥲 but happy to see this moving again. We can create a CIP-0013 discussion channel on CIP Discord server & maybe use Editor Meetings voice channel for working group meetings: PM me on Telegram? 🤓 @Ryun1_ @perturbing101 @IntersectMBO

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

@CHGPool @Cardano Good suggestion for the CLI section of Builder Tools on the #Cardano Developer Portal (cc @boraonchain @adatainment) 🤔 https://t.co/sy2mrHfpTw

[Cardano Community @Cardano]

Meet Robert Phair (@COSDpool), one of the newest Ambassadors to join the Cardano Ambassador Program.

Robert brings decades of experience and a strong belief in open-source, and this comes through clearly in his long-standing work on Cardano’s CIPs and documentation. Few people have contributed as much to shaping the ecosystem’s written standards and helping preserve its long-term memory.

He’s committed to helping Cardano grow through clarity, good documentation, and accessible standards that everyone can build on.

His message to the community: “Stay generous with your ideas. What you give, you get back many-fold.”

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

Thanks to @Cardano_CF, @DenicioBernier, and the #Cardano Ambassador team for this feature and the recognition for our founder @rxphair 🤩 https://t.co/P3TfwEsYYt

Getting excited for the first in-person CIP Editors meeting in 2 weeks at Day-0 of the 2025 Cardano Summit by @Cardano_CF! Who else will be joining us in Berlin on Nov 11-13? 🤠♥️🇩🇪🍻 @Ryun1_ @COSDpool @perturbing101

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

@Ryun1_ This is the result of a long time discussion by governance metadata experts of how to deal with that particular impostor problem: 😎 https://t.co/N7CweQoyHv

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

@MadOrkestra @Catalyst_onX @dannyribar @InputOutputHK @krissbaird My guess is that other posted thresholds would have applied: e.g. the requirement that a project achieves at least 1% of the voted funds. Compressing the voting power could have reduced a far greater number of proposals below this eligibility limit or others. 🤔

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

@My__X__Account @Ryun1_ @meshsdk yes, of course we'll revisit these suggestions the next time the issue is discussed. In the meantime, whenever constitution authors want to bring CIP commitments into their drafts, editors will always be available to respond about the practicality of these inclusions. 😇

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

@meshsdk To clarify: what we need most chronically are dev *reviewers* in the CIP process 🤓 since it's not the editors that create CIP equity, but expert *peer review* (though with regular repo maintenance & dev relations that do need to be provisioned somehow) ⭐ https://t.co/ghvbz4YQNE

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

@My__X__Account We never sought this since 1) CIPs are about technical, not human factors; 2) CIPs are not governance, but only support it; 3) use of CIPs is voluntary & so can't be required in a Constitution 🤓 but we'll revisit this in CIP working groups around the Summit. 🤔 @Ryun1_ @meshsdk

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

@meshsdk I just passed this along to all of my own working group who have been involved with the Midnight TGE & are getting their Catalyst vote lists together this weekend. 🤠

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

CIPs will continue even if this isn't funded... but your YES vote will help ensure the process is kept relevant to the Community: from devs & companies to casual observers 🤓 https://t.co/44iEaSq0Nf #Cardano @LidoNation @dannyribar @Ryun1_ @adamKDean @perturbing101 @NicolasC3rny

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

@adamKDean @Cardano @vesprwallet @BeginWallet @lace_io @eternlwallet @Tokeo_io @YoroiWallet @Ryun1_ Thanks for the announcement @adamKDean 🤩 - I'm not regularly on X these days so saw just now. Wallet architects: this is the ideal time (maybe the *only* time, before implementations might diverge) to agree on these URI standards which will be a huge part of #Cardano equity 🤓

[COSD Cardano Stake Pool @COSDpool]

@NicolasC3rny @phillewisit @IntersectMBO @AdamRusch @adamKDean @rickmccracken @hoskytoken @planetmaaz @benohanlon @Cardano_CF @yutazzz @emurgo_io @Ryun1_ @perturbing101 @NicolasC3rny it would make a great CIP-0100 extension and I'll be watching out for it 🤓— though I agree with @Quantumplation that it could be handled by an off-chain field definition, I think lodging as a CIP would provide better authenticity for the process & better adoption.
